Over $470,000 was directed to not-for-profits and cities to rehabilitate and preserve historic structures across the state through Indiana Landmarks last year.
The organization said the funding was awarded to support efforts, including architectural assessments and repairs at historic structures, workshops, and digital walking tours promoting preservation and heritage.
“Indiana Landmarks offers grants to help spark community revitalization and bolster preservation projects around the state,” Indiana Landmarks President Marsh Davis said in a news release. “We’re extremely grateful that with the support of many generous donors we’re able to offer this critical support to local groups and others engaged in preserving the state’s meaningful places.”
